CRITCHLOW HAS } REACHED THE AGE OF 70. ’ Happily Surprised by Members of Trinity | Lutheran Church Raecently. l e | One of the most happy events of the ; winler season was a surprise sprung on | Rev G. W. Critehlow, pastor of Trinity * Lutheran Church, Meadville, Pa. when a large percentage of the membership called at the parsonaze to remind hLim ’ that he had arrived at the 70th mile- stone on life’s journey. The affair had been carefully planned and kept secret, and the Reverend gentleman and his wife were taken completely by surprise when their self- invited guests ‘‘swooped down’’ up- on them. The host and hostess were however, equal to the occasion, and cheerfully surrendered their home to the visitors. A tureen supper was in order, and at the proper time a fine menu, prepared by the women of the church, was enjoyed. One of the fea- turos of the social oceasion was the pre- | sentation of a substantiai purse to Rev. Mr. Critchlow aad his wife, who isa never tiring helper of her busband ia his pastoral work, Rav. M. Ceitehlow in acknowledg- ing this visit and extending thanks for the purse, spoke with muen fecling veferrinz to the great pleasure which was his, and as well of his wife and daughter, Miss H:len C-itchlow, in serv- ing the people of Trinity parish in a spiritual way. It wis a late hour when the happy company dispersed, after ¢orngratuliting Rev. Mr. Critehlo 7 02 his tine physical and mental cond:tion at the age of three- seore and ten a2nd wishing him many added years of iife for his work in the Master’s vineyard.——M adville Tribune.

Dublin, Aprll sth- A proposal to ratify the Anglo-American liquor freaty provo- ked a lively debate in the Dail Eire- an vyesterday Mr. Desmond Fitzze: rald, Minister of Foreign Affairs, in muv- ing the ratification of the treaty, said he had ca'led the attention of the British authorities to the fact, that the words “King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland’’ no longer were des- criptive of fact, but that he had not pressed upon the British Government that it take immediate steps to amend this wording, pending a settlement of the Irish boundary question. The Gov- ernment, the Minister added, would en- deavour to put no hindrance in the way of the United States in enforcing its own laws. Mr. Desond moved an amend- ment to the proposal to the effect that the Dail should withhold approval of the treaty pending consideration of the full text of it. He challenged the whole situation represented by the use of the words ‘‘United Kingdom of Great Brir- ain and llreland’’, and said the Dail would have to discuss whei her Sir A ack- land Geddes, ex-Ambassador to the Unit ed States was aathorized by the I'ree State Government 0 sign the treaty on its behalf. Mr. MeCarty, ex-Govarn- ment Whip, declared the procedure looked like the playing of a con- fidence tvick on the Dail and that it was not the first time a tricky agree- ment had been made by the Foreign Minister. Other deputies also criticized the Government for its action with re- gard to the proposed treaty, The amend- ment of Mr. Desinond was defeated by a vote of 35 to 29, Debate on the treaty E'as then adjourned until next Wednes- ay.
